Major U.S. stock-indexes mixed. Gains in energy and bank stocks drove the Dow and the S&P 500 to record intraday highs on Wednesday, but losses in technology stocks dragged down the Nasdaq. OPEC agreed to cut production to 32,5 million barrels per day, Kuwait's oil minister said. The cuts include Iraq reducing output by 200,000 bpd to 4,351 million beginning in January. Oil was up 7,8% to a near five-week high. U.S. private employers stepped up hiring in November and consumer spending increased last month, the latest signs of economic strength that could further cement the case for an interest rate hike.

Most of Dow stocks in negative area (17 of 30). Top gainer - The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS, +3.51%). Top loser - Visa Inc. (V, -1.69%).

Most S&P sectors also in negative area. Top gainer - Basic Materials (+3.9%). Top loser - Utilities (-2.0%).

Polish equity market closed higher on Wednesday. The broad market measure, the WIG index, rose by 0.87%. Sector performance within the WIG was mainly positive as nine sectors recorded advances, with telecoms (+3.31%) outpacing.

The large-cap stocks grew by 1.12%, as measured by the WIG30 Index. A majority of the index components returned gains. The advancers pack was led by oil and gas producer PGNIG (WSE: PGN), with gains of 5.32%, followed by chemical producer GRUPA AZOTY (WSE: ATT), bank MILLENNIUM (WSE: MIL) and telecommunication services provider ORANGE POLSKA (WSE: OPL), which surged by 4.04%, 3.92% and 3.45% respectively. On the contrary, gencos ENEA (WSE: ENA) and TAURON PE (WSE: TPE), as well as videogame developer CD PROJEKT (WSE: CDR) were the weakest performers, retreating by 2.11%, 1.12% and 1.12% respectively. Other losers were chemical producer SYNTHOS (WSE: SNS) and thermal coal producer BOGDANKA (WSE: LWB), dropping by 0.45% and 0.42% respectively.

U.S. stock-index futures edged higher as sources informed OPEC members reached an agreement to cut oil production.

European stock markets were struggling for direction on Tuesday, with investors staying on the sidelines ahead of the closely watched OPEC meeting and the Italian referendum later in the week. The sharp moves reflect uncertainty ahead of the country's referendum on proposed constitutional reforms on Sunday. Analysts fear a rejection could unleash political and economic uncertainty in a country that's already battling with a banking crisis.

U.S. stocks closed higher on Tuesday with the Nasdaq touching a record, but the market failed to make much headway as oil futures slumped ahead of a key meeting of major crude producers. The second reading of gross domestic product showed the economy grew at the fastest pace in over two years in the third quarter, while a measure of consumer confidence soared in November to prerecession levels.

Asian stocks tried to stabilize after a rocky November month drew to a close, but Wednesday's session brought new anxieties as Chinese equities and commodities tanked amid worries that Beijing's efforts to support its currency could squeeze liquidity. Analysts said moves by China's central bank in recent days to shore up a sliding yuan were sucking additional funds from the banking system, which is pushing up domestic borrowing costs.
